Re: [Zope] How to get a catalogware object's ZCatalog

Such an object should have an attribute named default_catalog.

So, getattr(myobj,myobj.default_catalog) should give you the catalog object via acquisition.

hi oliver,

I already tried that method "default_catalog" (defined in the 'CatalogAware' class) but it returns "Catalog" which can't be right, because 'myobj' is cataloged in a ZCatalog called "MyCatalog".

We are talking about a filesystem based product here which mixes in CatalogAware? I find it hard to believe that what you describe is possible, because CatalogAware's index_object() method uses the value of default_catalog to find the Catalog instance to index in. Maybe provide more specifics. cheers, oliver
